Nintendo Wii

My eldest son had pre-ordered one of these which was delivered today. The whole family have played on it all this evening and had a great time. I have only played on the bowling and tennis so far as I was out babysitting earlier, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is definitely more physical than any of the other games consoles and my arms is aching like mad now[msneek].

Well done Karen for getting one - we pre ordered through PC World but missed out on the first allocation. Just hoping that we get one before Christmas, otherwise we will have two very disappointed boys[msnsad]

What a shame that you didnt get one after pre-ordering. My son actually ordered 2 from different places and the one he ordered first has not materialised. I do hope you get one for your boys in time for Christmas, dont know how old they are but my son is 23 in March[msnembarrased], he will never grow up, he was up at the crack of dawn waiting for the delivery after spending the whole time from the evening before tracking it!

My son's had it pre-ordered from 2 sources and neither was successful today.

I had it pre-ordered, was suppose to arrive Friday but no show. Rang at 5pm, they said it was on the van and would arrive before 6.30pm. Rang in the evening and they said the driver had probably not finished is deliveries and I would receive today or Monday, they would ring to confirm today (didn't happen). I ordered from Argos, two months ago.

My son got his from Game, which he had obviously pre-ordered. He reckons that they are the shop that has great dealings with the major companies like Nintendo etc. so they seem to get the majority quota of the new games consoles.

My son collected his on Friday but he's not happy because I took it off him to wrap up and put under the tree!! Mind you he's 20 and old enough to understand that Santa doesn't come 'til Christmas Day!!

I had one pre ordered for Lee and it arrived on Friday. It is gonna be a surprise for him [msnsmile2] Shame he won't have time to play with it before we head off to Florida [msnwink]

Monday arrived, no delivery, rang again this afternoon. Today I was told that they hadn't received consoles, I explained that I already knew that my console was on a van on Friday to be delivered to me and I knew that others had received theirs, after being put through to 3 different people I finally was informed by a senior member of staff that I would definately receive by console 6pm. Guess what! came back from work at 9.30pm to find it hadn't arrived. Another phonecall and they have now given me the number for the delivery people and I can ring them after 8am tomorrow morning to confirm delivery time. Oh! and also they are going to send me some vouchers for the trouble and cost of having to ring them. Really nice but I think I would just prefer delivery of my console, that I paid for a month ago.(today I received my card statement showing the money had already been debited from my account)
